In the middle of the night, Tianhai City, a forest of high-rise buildings sleep in the dark, the gray streets are faintly lit with street lamps, the whole city seems very quiet, but at this time it is a different world underground.

The swarms of rats in the sewers began to assemble rapidly like a well-trained army, and the rats began to gather more and more and began to get restless and hiss.

Lori stood on the roof of the building, her cold gaze staring downward, her every move of the rat army under her control, and finally issued a silent command to them.

Swarms of rats went wild, and the soldiers began to climb up the ground along the pipes and escalators, like swarms of ants swarming out of the exit, gathering towards government buildings, police stations, and army barracks to wreak havoc on infrastructure.

The next day, almost all of these departments and units were paralyzed, and after investigation, it was found that rats were actually responsible.

Tianhai City, which has not yet recovered, has ushered in another rat eradication campaign, and finally even the police officers who maintain law and order on the streets have joined the campaign, leaving them very busy.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Luo Li began to search for her goal unscrupulously, without any worries.

In order to prevent the spread of plague, a lot of manpower and material resources were mobilized under the leadership of the functional departments of the government to bring the situation under control.

Yang Fan also joined the ranks of the rodent extermination team, and the hero who had just received the Medal of Honor has now become a rodent exterminator.

He finally caught up with a rotational break, and dragged his tired body back home in the evening.

Yang Fan walked into his room, turned over and fell on the bed, feeling the muscles of his whole body relieved, he turned off the light casually, and fell asleep without taking off his clothes.

The room was pitch black, and the sleeping Yang Fan slowly walked into a dream.

In the strange space, a young man stood there, his face full of fear, and then a diminutive strange man walked towards him.

The strange man was less than a meter tall and couldn't see his face clearly, and then the two began to talk, not knowing what they were talking about.

Then the strange man took out a diamond-shaped object and handed it to the young man, it was all white, as if it was made of sterling silver.

In the dream, the young man looked a little familiar, and the diamond-shaped thing was the talisman that Yang Fan wore around his neck every day.

At this time, a sudden burning sensation in his chest woke Yang Fan up from his dream, he suddenly got up from the bed, and looked down to see that there was a faint blue light flickering on his chest.

The glowing object was actually the silver amulet hanging from under his neck, and it was exactly the same as what he had seen in his dream.

Yang Fan held the talisman in his hand and looked at it carefully, it looked like something was wrapped in it.

He hurriedly turned on the light, and the blue light disappeared, and the amulet returned to its original state, without any anomalies.

Recalling the young man who appeared in the dream made Yang Fan feel a sense of déjà vu, but it was only a vague memory.

"This is what Grandpa left back then, is it?"

Yang Fan woke up like a dream when he thought of this, he ran to Yang Xuexin's room and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets, finding a lot of photos.

In the end, his eyes were fixed on an old photograph of the person in the photograph who appeared in his dream, and this photo was taken by his grandfather Yang Dezhi when he was a young man on an expedition to Antarctica.

When Yang Fan was young, he often listened to Yang Xuexin tell legendary stories about his grandfather.

Yang Dezhi was an adventure enthusiast during his lifetime, climbing Mount Everest, crossing the Lop Nur Desert, as well as the primeval forests of Africa and the Amazon rainforest, but none of the most legendary is the trip to Antarctica.

At the age of thirty-three, he led an expedition deep into the Antarctic ice sheet, and although the round trip was relatively smooth, something strange happened when he returned.

Yang Dezhi claimed that he was "kidnapped" by aliens in Antarctica, and said that he had a nose and eyes, and took out that thing as evidence.

It didn't take long for him to become a public figure, and many media invited him to the TV station for the sake of curiosity, and even alarmed those UFO experts to visit him in person.

In the end, it turned out that all this was a false lie, but Yang Dezhi firmly believed in his experience, and was sent to a psychiatric hospital for examination, and was diagnosed with mild paranoia.

Perhaps mentally stimulated, he became a complete drunkard for the next twenty years, and at the last moment of his life, he did not forget to hand over that thing to Yang Xuexin, when he was only fifty-three years old.

Yang Xuexin has kept that thing as a relic of his father to this day, and only gave it to Yang Fan when he left Earth.

Yang Fan has always carried the amulet left by Yang Dezhi, and now that humans have landed on the planet Hult and have not found any intelligent life, he has gradually forgotten the bizarre experience of the old man.

Strange dreams, magical blue light, the origin of this seemingly ordinary talisman does not seem to be so simple.

At this moment, Yang Fan's heart could no longer be calm, and what happened just now was by no means accidental.

He began to carefully search the room for the relics left by Yang Dezhi, hoping to find more clues, and finally found the truth in a thick booklet.

This is a notebook left by Yang Dezhi, because it has been aged for many years and looks dilapidated, which records his personal experience in detail.

On June 10, 2039, it was a day I will never forget, and at about eleven o'clock in the night, when my teammates were sleeping soundly on the ice sheet of Antarctica, through the window of the snowmobile, a streamer of light in the air caught my attention.

Out of curiosity, I walked out, when I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my head, and when I woke up, I found myself in a strange space.

It was not an illusion, and although I couldn't see what was around me, I was sure that everything around me was real.

It wasn't long before a diminutive strange man approached me, less than a meter tall and wrapped around him as if he were wearing a protective suit, and I was completely stunned by what happened next.

The weirdo only told me that he was an alien from another planet, and then handed me something to keep safe.

I was terrified because I didn't know what it was and if it would be a disaster, but I couldn't refuse.

When I woke up again, I found myself on a snowmobile, clutching a diamond-shaped object in my hand.

It was never a dream, because that thing was real and something I had never seen before.

I wanted to throw it away, but as soon as such a thought came to mind, my head hurt like a pinprick.

I don't know what I did, and I don't know why it happened, maybe until I died......

Yang Fan carefully read the note left by his grandfather, and he looked at the talisman in his hand, and his mind was full of thoughts.

What the hell is this thing? Are there really aliens? One mystery after another puzzled him.

He went back to his room and found some testing equipment, and was sure that the diamond-shaped "amulet" was indeed silver, but it was so hard that no matter what method was used, it was impossible to break it, not even to make a trace on it, and it seemed to be coated with a protective film.

He knew that it was impossible for silver to emit blue light, and that there must be some secret hidden in it.

An ordinary amulet that I usually carry on my body has now become a puzzling and difficult mystery to uncover.

In the end, Yang Fan decided to keep it by his side, and now that the "talisman" emits blue light, this may be a foreshadowing.

He hung the "talisman" around his neck again, no longer thinking about those headaches, and of course he wouldn't take it to spread it everywhere like Yang Dezhi.
